Seat Covers
Afternoon All,
I'm looking to get some seat covers for my Discovery 3 as driver's seat is fraying as is one of the passenger's. Have seen some but also haven't seen any that allow the rear seats to be folded individually down. So was looking for suggestions and was also wondering what other people have in theirs if any at all.
Thanks

My D3 LR covers did most excellent service for 165k miles. Up until the engine went bada bing, bada boom.

I hope you didn’t recover that Italiansalaatti.
Best before must have been quite some time ago and it isn’t covered by any warranty. Illegal to distribute in most jurisdictions on the grounds of being a weapon of mass destruction.

U seen the prices in Finland? All I could afford. Bread is waaaaaaay too expensive.
PS The can with the blue top is Raid, the yellow top is good insect spray. I think I was a bit south of Kuhmo (9GMG6VHM+8M) and the bugs were out in strength!!

It’s a few years since I saw this but a “restaurant” advertised:
- Breakfast porridge and a pint, 4 eur
- just the porridge, 3.50 eur
And yeah, everything is expensive here. Just commented on another thread that a D3 V8 with a slightly tuned odometer going for 7000 or 8000 is cheap as compared to what people want for theirs here. Today’s menu of used discos is:
MY12 D4 SDV6 HSE, 172000 km, 38900 eur
MY08 D3 TDV6 SE, 201000 km, 23890 eur
MY06 D3 TDV6 HSE, 264000 km, 15990 eur

You could have had my D3 for €4,000. Before the engine died.

Customs thinks that (example) a D3 TDV6 Auto that has been taken into use 1.1.2005 with 200000 km on it is valued at around 11333 (sale price) and 12833 (asking) eur. Tax is 28% for a car that age - of what customs thinks is the sale price ... 3200 e and change. Thank you sir very kind of you. your car is now worth a nice 8 k here.
I’ve now explaned how cars pretty much double their value in our funny little socialist welfare state.

Actually, I did the mile-km conversion - your car would have been worth the 16 k someone is asking for the MY06 HSE I quoted above.. identical distance driven.
